缅因州太阳能公司因新收费而起诉PUC公司,指控违反宪法和投资损害。 Maine solar firms sue PUC over new fees, claiming constitutional violations and investment harm.

11家缅因社区太阳能公司起诉公共事业委员会,因为新的规则规定从1月开始按规模对项目征收月费。 Eleven Maine community solar companies sued the Public Utilities Commission over new rules that impose monthly fees on projects based on size, starting in January. 他们声称这些收费违反了宪法保护,贬低了他们的投资价值,追溯性地更改了合同,有可能损害投资者的信心,阻碍今后的清洁能源项目。 They claim the fees violate constitutional protections by devaluing their investments and retroactively altering contracts, potentially undermining investor confidence and deterring future clean energy projects. 原告寻求一项初步禁令,以中止这些规则,辩称这些规则损害现有协议,威胁数十亿投资和消费储蓄。 The plaintiffs seek a preliminary injunction to halt the rules, arguing they harm existing agreements and threaten billions in investments and consumer savings. 该委员会说,它最近收到诉讼案并正在审查,而法律则旨在通过减少太阳能补贴,每年节省超过2.3亿美元的付息者的费用。 The commission said it recently received the lawsuit and is reviewing it, while the law aims to save ratepayers over $230 million annually by reducing solar subsidies.
